If you’re at or around 135 you can relax. Your in the top 1 or 2 percent.
Whilst I don’t know you. I do know becoming obsessed with intelligence isn’t generally a good thing
I see it the same way as I see obsession with riches, there’s always someone richer
In the case of intellect, it’s even more nuanced because intelligence is flexible - you’ll end up comparing yourself to people always - and like people say; comparison is the thief of joy

I agree.
When people say someone is intelligent, they often mean smarter/better than other people. That’s a high bar to live up to in most if not all areas of life. People are quite smart in their own way is my opinion. The human mind is our greatest resource.
So to answer @PhotoGuy , yes. You might even be smarter than other people in certain areas, I can’t possibly know that. But let me ask you this, does it matter to you to be ‘better’ than others. If so why?

@PhotoGuy let’s say we reached a consensus here, that you’re the smartest guy on the forum. Maybe one of the smartest in the world too.
How would it change the quality of life for you? Would feel better, happier, more energized? Would you do something differently?

Intelligence is overrated imo
Emotional Intelligence is more important.

No, einstein earned good grades in school. He failed one enterance exam to a college or something.
Intelligence has to have some reflection on reality. Currently that means doing well in school. If one doesnt have intelligence to do well in school currently by most standards one is dumb.

Sorry I know I’m a bit boring.
He did well in math and science. In other subjects he was mediocre.
I think people are smart for their age. Developmentally at a set period in time. Being smart at 20 is different than being smart at 40. Experience adds a lot of richness to life. The lessons experience gives trumps books.
I fear the same thing. I dont mind being thought of as insane or cringe or anything. But dumb? I shudder at that.

It’s not much related to the thread so
You’re a sharp dude, and I find a lot of your posts to be relatable.
I think insecurity, with this illness, stems from ambivalence – which is a symptom of schizophrenia. I struggle with this, for sure.
You are smart. But you know that this is Sz. And nothing works in this disease. Only butiful ladies have some (you know) benifits.
